I am back from my  trip to Baltimore. There are so many beautiful museums there. My friend Marjorie from Marjories Busy Corner and me did a couple. These quilts are at the Maryland Historical Society. We also went to the Walters Art Museum.  If anyone gets a chance they should visit. We enjoyed them 

We also lucked out and found some ladies on our cruise that was having a quilters retreat in one of the conference rooms. We had so much fun stopping in for a visit and they were all so nice. There was between 25 and 30 ladies from around West Virginia.





There was a few with these featherweight sewing machines so I got a chance to ask some questions. I hope I can find one. I find it hard to lug mine around because they are so heavy.  This would be so perfect to take to my sewing get togethers.  We came away with some good ideas and they were always ready for a chat. 

Marjorie and I had a great time other than my back problems. I wouldn't be taking the beds home. Made a few trips to the ships doctor. Marjorie was a great nurse. I got to the first two Islands but didn't get to the next two. At least I have been there before. The first two was the ones I wanted to get to. 
Baltimore magnolias came in bloom while we were on the cruise. We were there before we left and again after. Such a beautiful and fragranced flower. Love this city. Inner Harbour  was so nice walking around. 







A lot of memories made on this trip. Once I get my back feeling better back to the sewing room. After I clean house I guess. We will see which one I visit first.
